🏉 The Oval Office’s Round 4 Team
⭐️ We had 8/15 players in the R4 dream team.
The Good
©️ Thomas Ramos’ two late tries saved our captain pick this round.
🔀 We swapped out Mathieu Jalibert for Jack Crowley to add a second kicker & it paid off.
🍀 Jack Conan was the pick of the back row forwards and the MVP of Round 4.
🇮🇹 Tommaso Menoncello hauled 54 points with a POTM performance.
The Bad
🇫🇷 Nick Timoney to Charles Ollivon did not pay off however, we would have been much better off with Oscar Jegou.
❌ Super Sub Henry Pollock blanked.
🏴 Kyle Steyn or Darcy Graham would have been much better picks than Rob Balocoune, although few saw that coming.
